“We were able to rest well on our vacation, knowing our senior dog was in good hands. Jackie was attentive to her needs and made sure she was loved on while we were away.”
“Thank you so much for taking Maple on such short notice. Five stars are simply not enough to describe the wonderful experience we had. It was comforting to see that Maple had a loving home away from home. She clearly enjoyed playing in the fenced yard with Sadie, and I truly appreciated the frequent communication and photos you shared. It was great to see her receiving so much love and attention. I will definitely be using your services again.”
“June is wonderful! She gives us regular updates with photos. We always know our pup is in great hands and well taken care of. It’s so nice to know she has a comfortable and safe place to stay while we are away. Highly recommended!”
“Dorothy is amazing and we couldn’t recommend her enough. She took the time to get to know my pup and her needs, and sent many updates while we were away. We are happy to have found someone we trust so much!”
“Shauna and Peter took such wonderful care of our dog Gracie. Not only did they follow our instructions for her basic care, such as food, medications, daily walks and play, but the whole family gave her so much love and attention. She is a very affectionate dog and they treated her as if she was their own. We were on a long trip overseas and Shauna’s daily communication and photos gave us such a peace of mind that our sweet pup was doing just fine. We feel so blessed to have found them and can not thank them enough for the perfect care they gave Gracie! We highly recommend Shauna and Peter to care for your dog. They are the best!”
“Jacqueline and Uriel were both amazing! They gave me hourly updates with photos and helped me stay at ease since it was my first time leaving my pup with anyone. They spent a lot of quality time with him teaching him tricks, taking him out every hour, and making sure my little guy was well taken care of. I can’t say enough good things about them both and I am so grateful I found them! I would def recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable sitter! 10/10 🙏”
“Derek is an outstanding sitter. I trust him and his family to care for my dog Bear whenever we are out of town and I know Bear loves spending time with them. I love the updates and picture Derek sends to keep me posted how Bear is doing. I would highly recommend Derek as a sitter.”
“Patricia took amazing care of Zoey. She was great with sending us video and photo updates which gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Patricia and look forward to having her watch Zoey again.”
“Jorge and Susie took wonderful care of my dog. They treated her as if she was their own. I will book them for any future trip and feel secure in knowing my baby will be in good hands ❤️❤️❤️”
“Our dog came back happy which is all we can ask for. We received so many great videos and photos of Sadie while we were gone which gave us the peace of mind that we needed. We will absolutely use her services again in the future!”
“Yaqi is absolutely the best, I have an elderly Frenchie who is generally with me 24/7. I was very worried about leaving her with anybody but Yaqi very quickly put my mind at ease. She sends many pics and videos and my dog loves her. I won’t sorry next time I leave town because I know my dog will be with Yaqi.”
“They took a great care of our dog and we appreciated their sincere love for our dog. They sent us many updates with photos every day we were away. I recommend them to anyone. Thank you very much for taking care of our dog like your own.”
“Thank you Judy for an outstanding experience for our beloved dog and for all of us. Your love and caring for Tesla was so wonderful. You communicated twice a day with pictures and updates and they were detailed and reassuring. We really looked forward to our mini chats. Your responsiveness was also great. We knew we could reach you at any time, not that we needed to 😊. You also provided a safe and happy environment for him and he loved being in your home. He was a truly contented pup while he was with you. Words cannot express how grateful we are to you, for providing a home away from home for our dog. Thanks also for grooming him and keeping him in a tip top condition. We cannot say enough about the wonderful service and care you provided. We enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing he was in the best care we could have arranged for him. Thanks again and any dog is lucky to have a home with you while their owners need to be away. We certainly were. I cannot recommend you enough. You are truly the best!!!! 🐕💕🙏🥰”
“Rosie's love and care for our two dogs, Charlie and Peanut, was excellent. We boarded our ten-year-old special-needs dog (Peanut) and our fourteen-year-old senior dog (Charlie) for a few days with Rosie. She was able to administer medications and handle the different needs of each dog. We also greatly appreciate the help of Rosie's little dog, Bella and her daughter, Ruby. We have already booked a second boarding stay with Rosie due the confidence we have in her care for our doggies. Hooray!”
“Danielle was awesome! There were a lot of twists and turns to our weekend and she was very flexible and accommodating. I’ll use her again for sure. Thanks, Danielle!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for the last 7-8 years for my family, friends, and neighbors. They have trusted me with walking, feeding, and overall loving their furry friends! When my family first got our dog in 2020, I assisted in training him and learning how to take care of a puppy. I have also helped to take care of my roommates pet dog and cat in these last few months as well! During the summer of 2024, my dog suddenly went paralyzed and lost function of his back legs. We had to learn how to take care of him and walk him using unconventional ways, while teaching him how to learn to walk again, so I have experience with a dog who has been partially disabled (but he has regained his ability to walk and is doing great!!) I recently graduated from Miami University, Ohio with my masters degree in speech-language pathology. I just moved back to Illinois and am looking to do some dog walking and pet care/love this summer before starting a new job in the schools this upcoming August as a speech-language pathologist. I will adhere to any requests that the client has. I am willing to put them in their crates, give them treats, play with them in the yard, or go for a nice long walk with them. It really comes down to the clients preference and I will stick to their normal routine!!
“Madeline is very kind. My kitties are a bit shy - but they warmed to her quickly. I loved the photos and the updates. I knew I left my babies I good hands - go ahead and book with Madeline , you wont regret it!”
About: I have taken care of animals for it seems like my whole life. I have experience administering medication both orally and through syringes and love to spoil dogs when walks and cuddles. I work for a school district so I my school day runs from 7:30-2:30, so no pet would be alone for long. I can do weekdays and weekends. I have experience going into someone’s home and watching their animals from there. I find it’s easier for on them when they are in their own home environment. I follow your routine and instructions and will let you know if I have any questions or anything comes up.
“Alyssa was awesome!! Super flexible with making things work with my schedule and I always felt like mugsy was in good hands. She kept me updated with pictures and you could tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, I will absolutely be using her as a sitter again!”
“Jessica did an amazing job being a first time sitter for my 2 cats one of which is very shy. She sent photos and updates each day after drop in visits which made me feel so at ease while on vacation. She went above and beyond caring for my house, bringing in the mail and watering 2 flower pots. I will absolutely hire Jessica again! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars! She treated my pets as her own.”
“Jamie is great! Whenever I have to leave my fur baby, knowing she is caring for him puts my mind at ease. She is a responsible and loving sitter and her daily updates are so considerant when I'm missing my cat Casanova.”
“This was the first time I was leaving half of my cats alone and one of them required daily medication. Rachael did an amazing job. I got thorough reports and a lot of photos, all of which really eased my anxiety. She was so communicative. Thank you again!”
“Jessica and Luis are ah-mazing!! I reached it to them on short notice and they were still willing to meet with me and car for my 2 cats while I visited some friends for the weekend. It was my first time using a pet sitter so I was a little nervous but they made me feel at ease leaving Smokey and Pippa for a few days. They sent pictures and texted updates after each visit. Highly recommend them and will not hesitate to book with them again!”
“They take such excellent care of my cat Pumpkin for drop-in visits whenever we are away! They follow all instructions and administer her feline inhaler! They are professional and thorough every time! I”
“This is the fifth time and and the start of my second year using Cynthia to care for my Smokey. As always the best of care while away, plenty of photos and daily updates. She can also handle the unexpected if it comes up. No worries ever, will use for all remaining trips throughout the year. 5 stars”
About: I've taken care of cats my whole life and understand that cats have unique personalities. I'm experienced in diabetic cat care, including Injections. I have 2 indoor only cats that are up to date on their vaccines, including against rabies.
“I was so happy with Katelyn's service. She was very friendly and professional. My dog is diabetic and knowing Katlynn was there to care if her really put me at ease. Thank you so much for your concern and support for my "Bella".”
“Audrey was fantastic with our cats, Ben and Chloe! Her professionalism and communication were top-notch. We were impressed by her dedication and care, which made our time away worry-free. Highly recommend Audrey!”
About: I have felt a calling towards dogs for quite some time now. I have a few dog friends, and feel a very deep, genuine, and pure connection with them. I hope that it's the same with your beloved furry friend, and I'm confident that it will be. Please allow me to respond to your booking request before sending your request to multiple parties.. This is appreciated! My schedule really is pretty packed right now, but mid-afternoons are pretty open most days.. I will take new clients if I am able to find a time slot for you, though! For now, I'd like to keep care either in your home, or outdoors. I will treat your home like it is my own. Thank you!

I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“Jackie was amazing with my energetic boy Tucker!! He loved playing in her backyard and snuggling with her and her pups on the couch. He is tired and happy after picking him up. It was my first time dropping him at someone’s house for Rover so I was very anxious, however Jackie eased that immediately when I met her and her two cute pups. I will 100% use her services again next time I’m in the area.”

About: I have taken care of my own animals since I was 9 years old and I also have experience in teaching them tricks. I have also taken care of the pets of my neighbors and friends since I was 16 years old, I have fed them, I have given them walks, I have bathed them, animals of all ages with old pets I tend to be very careful in their feeding as well I give them a lot of love, when we are at home I give them massages that are especially for animals and they relax a lot, it helps them with stress. He always treated them with a lot of respect because for me animals are the purest, most beautiful being and that they give their unconditional love. I always take care of all the details with the client and the pet in order to provide a quality service and that they leave very happy. In the mornings I go for a run and I like the company of puppies to be able to make it more fun and I feel great when I spend moments with them and their love so cute that they transmit. In my house they can receive all their meals and hydrate, play with them and that they can rest, I also take them for a walk, they receive a massage time especially for animals which helps them with stress, I teach them tricks always with love and respect. In the customers' house it would be the same or it would depend a lot on what they request, since each animal has different needs.

About: As a Mommy and animal enthusiast - I take immense pride and joy in my care for ALL babies! We tend to forget that It takes a village to raise ‘em right and I’d be honored to be the chosen addition to helping you raise yours. I currently work “on-call” meaning I have ample amount of free time to invest in to my relationship with your fur babies. Whilst I am a devoted stickler when it comes to scheduling, I also understand that life happens and flexibility is a necessity. I can't allow pets in my apartment because they have a no pet policy allowed but I'm more than able to house sit in the client's home.
About: I have about one year of hands-on pet ownership experience and have been around animals my entire life. I’ve helped train and care for dogs, including Collies and Hounds, with experience in basic obedience, leash walking, crate training, and puppy training. I enjoy walking dogs and providing enrichment to support their physical and mental well-being. I also love bathing dogs too! I have experience with a range of dog personalities, including puppies, senior dogs, and those with special needs, such as medication schedules or mobility considerations. I’m adaptable, patient, and willing to adjust my care style to fit each dog’s individual needs. I try and build my routine that balances and fits my dog and me! This includes daily walks, 10 minute sessions of training, playtime, and decompression time. I also give snuggle and cuddle time, but only if the dog I work with initiates. I also love giving my dog a well balanced diet and hydration especially in this hot weather. I also believe that a dogs world is as big as we allow, and so I love bringing dogs to new adventures, like hiking or a day at the beach. I try to include these at least weekly or bi-weekly. I also love having doggie play dates, and have some minor experience with dogs meeting for the first time! I currently live in an apartment, so I only service for home visits and walking right now. I’m familiar with fenced or semi fenced yards and crating. I have my own dog that I love taking out for walks and training, so if you don’t have a yard that isn’t an issue! I work great when I’m giving instructions in writing or verbal that best helps your doggie!
“Hayley is extremely responsible, has great communication and is on time for all scheduled visits. She did an amazing job with drop-in visits and dog walks and left us very comfortable while we were away. Will definitely be using her next time. Thanks, Hayley!”
“Samantha is AMAZING! She took care of our 2 dogs for a full week. She sent fotos and updates each day. The dogs loved her!! We will definitely ask her to take care of our dogs for any future needs.”
About: I've taken care of cats my whole life, and I know that each one has their own personalities. I'm patient, having taught my own cats basic commands that they generally listen to. I have experience with diabetic and senior felines as well. My experience doesn't stop with felines, though, I've cared for many kinds of animals over the years. Among them are snakes, rats, mice, hamsters, lizards, rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, fresh water fish, small birds, and dogs. I work part time, but my ultimate goal is to make pet sitting my main career. I've always preferred being around and taking care of animals. I treat animals how I'd want to be treated if i was in their paws, and same with people and their property. Always leave a place as good or better than you found it.
“Jennifer is absolutely wonderful, so attentive and thoughtful with our pup. She’s the perfect peace of mind to know our pup is happy, safe and having a great time. Her communication is superb and her kindness is unmatched. So grateful for her!”

River is home now and may be a little bit sad since her stay with Carolyn seemed like a fun pup vacation. 😆”
